As a follow up to that, if you haven't already done so, look into setting up a secondary user for your Linux virtual machines. This user can then "take control" of the Linux virtual machine console by using the CP SEND command. You can also dynamically become a virtual machine's secuser using the SET SECUSER command.
You can use the PIPE STARMSG stage to trap the IUCV responses from Linux guests and respond accordingly.
